Battle of Siddim

The Battle of the Valley of Siddim is a battle mentioned in Genesis 14 in the Old Testament of the Bible, in which five rebellious kings (Bera of Sodom, Birsha of Gomorrah, Shinab of Admah, Shemeber of Zeboiim, and Zoar of Bela) were defeated by the army of King Chedorlaomer of Elam and his allies Tidal of Goiim, Amraphel of Shinar, and Arioch of Ellasar.

History
According to Genesis 14, Bera of Sodom, Birsha of Gomorrah, Shinab of Admah, Shemeber of Zeboiim, and Zoar of Bela served King Chedorlaomer of Elam for 12 years, but in the 13th year they rebelled against him. In the 14th year Chedorlaomer and his allied kings defeated the Amalekites, Amorites, and other rebels, and the five rebel kings went out and joined battle with Chedorlaomer in the Valley of Siddim on the Dead Sea.

The valley was filled with asphalt pits, and when the rebels were defeated, several of the Sodomites and Gomorrites fell into the pits, while the rest fled to the hill country. The enemy took all of the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their provisions, and they captured Lot (Abraham's nephew) and his possessions.
